What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2024
Pupils understand and proudly show their school values of 'Aim, Aspire and Achieve'. They know that these values are important as they help them to do the best that they can. The school has high expectations for how pupils will behave and learn. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), strive to meet those expectations. They do this well and trust that staff set these high standards because they want what is best for pupils. Overall, pupils achieve well through the curriculum. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe in the school, online and in their community. They talk about trusted adults they can go to if they have any worries. Pupils are happy and positive learners. They care about their school community and support each other with respect, kindness and inclusivity. Social times are joyous periods of the school day. Pupils play well with each other and have positive and warm relationships with staff. Pupils benefit from the range of leadership opportunities they are given. These roles include school councillors, mental health ambassadors, playground leaders and classroom monitors. From these roles, pupils learn the importance of making a positive contribution to their community.
What the school should improve
- Persistent absence of disadvantaged pupils remains too high. These pupils are not fully benefiting from all that school has to offer. The school should now carefully consider what additional strategies and support, both within and external to the school, that the most vulnerable families need to further improve attendance.
- The school is making refinements to the implementation of the non-core curriculum. Currently, adaptations to activities do not always enable all pupils to achieve as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that staff have the knowledge they need to plan precise and purposeful activities that will help all pupils to build knowledge constantly well.
